Game and Fish discusses doe limit
Thursday, August 14, 2003
There seems to be some confusion over the number of does that may be taken during the upcoming deer season in Arkansas. A few hunters are asking about the implications of the one-doe limit in regard to special Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife management area hunts.
The statewide doe bag limit is one. Even though a WMA and a Deer Zone are separate zones and may have different harvest restrictions, hunters cannot kill more than one doe combined, AGFC Wildlife Assistant Chief Doyle Shook said. "If you have already killed a doe by archery before a WMA hunt or before the zone doe-quota permit is valid, you cannot kill a doe during the WMA permit hunt, nor can you use the zone doe-quota permit."
Here's an example for hunters: If a hunter has killed a doe with a bow on Oct. 1 and he has a zone doe-quota permit for Deer Zone 11 or a WMA permit such as the one used at Fort Chaffee (which allows a hunter to take a doe or either sex), he is not allowed to take another doe because he has killed a doe during the archery season. No more than one doe can be taken in an individual's bag limit.
Another example: If a hunter kills a doe by a zone doe-quota permit and has a permit for a later either-sex WMA hunt, the hunter will have to buck-only hunt because he has filled his doe bag limit.
Statewide, the season bag limit is three deer. A season bag limit may contain two legal bucks and one doe. Hunters must obey zone and WMA restrictions and may hunt in different zones and WMAs as long as the statewide season bag limit is not exceeded.
In zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11, the bag limit is the same (two legal bucks and one doe) but before taking a doe a hunter must have a zone doe-quota permit. Zone doe-quota permits are not valid on WMAs that lie within the boundaries of zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11. The bag limit for archery is the same as the statewide limit. A zone doe-quota permit is not required to take a doe unless a hunter is in zones 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 or 11 when a firearms deer season is open.

Each extra jump has a certain type, dictated by the accessory or mount. Jumps of the same type will not stack with each other but will stack with other types, allowing for more than two consecutive jumps. For example, equipping a Cloud in a Bottle and a Tsunami in a Bottle will grant two additional jumps, while combining a Cloud in a Bottle with a Cloud in a Balloon will only grants one extra jump. Each type displays a unique particle effect when used, which always occur in the same order: Summoned mount's jump first, followed by Sandstorm, Blizzard, Fart, Tsunami, and Cloud.
An extra jump uses the same jump speed as the base jump but with different a different jump duration. For example, with default jump speed, a sustained jump from a Sandstorm in a Bottle lasts 3 times longer than a base jump, reaching a maximum height of 21.18 tiles, which is an increase of 238% compared to the base jump reach of 6.27 tiles.
Accessories[edit | edit source]
Extra jumps are granted by the five types of bottle accessories and their upgrades, listed in the following table. As described above, while it is possible to stack multiple jumps of different types (i.e. different rows), it is not possible to stack multiple jumps of the same type (i.e. within the same row).
|Cloud||75%||11.46 tiles (+82.78%)|
|19.97 tiles (+218.5%)|
|Blizzard||150%||14.7 tiles (+134.45%)|
|25.69 tiles (+309.73%)|
|Sandstorm||300%||21.18 tiles (+237.8%)|
|37.15 tiles (+492.5%)|
|Fart||200%||16.86 tiles (+168.9%)|
|29.51 tiles (+370.65%)|
|Tsunami||125%||13.62 tiles (+117.22%)|
|23.79 tiles (+279.43%)|
Mounts[edit | edit source]
There are four mounts that allow an additional jump mid-air.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- Jumping underwater with Flippers will count as an extra jump, preventing that jump from being used after breaching the water's surface.
Tips[edit | edit source]
- Extra jumps can be used shortly before hitting the ground to reset fall damage.
- The maximum total jump reach from a sextuple jump (obtainable e.g. by equipping a Bundle of Balloons, a Fart in a Balloon, and a Sharkron Balloon) is 92.35 tiles (+1372.89%). This can be further increased by equipping some of the boosting accessories: With the Soaring Insignia, a Frog Leg, the Amphibian Boots, and the Moon Lord Legs, the maximum total jump reach from a sextuple jump would be 301.1 tiles (+4702.23%).
Footnotes[edit | edit source]
- In relation to jump duration of the first jump.
- Assuming gravity is default, no other boosts are in effect, only the jump type from the respective row is used, and the second jump is activated immediately after the first one is completed. The increase in percent is referring to the increase from base jump reach (6.27 tiles).
- In relation to jump duration of the first jump with the mount.

The Hellingly Hospital Railway
was a light railway
owned and operated by the East Sussex County Council
. It was used to deliver coal and passengers to Hellingly Hospital
, a psychiatric hospital
, via a spur from the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway
's Cuckoo Line
at Hellingly railway station
The railway was constructed in 1899 and opened to passengers on 20 July 1903, following its electrification in 1902. After the railway grouping of 1923
, passenger numbers declined so significantly that the hospital authorities no longer considered passenger usage of the line to be economical, and the service was withdrawn. The railway closed to freight in 1959, following the hospital's decision to convert its coal boilers to oil, which rendered the railway unnecessary.
The route took a mostly direct path from a junction immediately south of Hellingly Station to Hellingly Hospital, past sidings
known as Farm Siding and Park House Siding respectively, used as stopping places to load and unload produce and supplies from outbuildings of the hospital. Much of the railway has since been converted to footpath
, and many of the buildings formerly served by the line are now abandoned.
Construction and opening
In 1897, East Sussex County Council purchased of land at Park Farm, about three miles (5 km) north of Hailsham
, from the Earl of Chichester
, to be the site of a new county lunatic asylum
which would eventually become known as Hellingly...

While ginseng can legally be harvested from the national forests, there are several restrictions. The roots can only be dug at certain times of year, there's a limit on how many you can take, and only larger roots can be taken. Ginseng diggers must also have a permit.
So far this year, Forest Service officials caught and arrested nine people for illegally possessing ginseng. The average ginseng poacher was caught with 25 roots and ultimately spent about two weeks in jail. This year, the forest has seen a sharp increase in violations issued to plant poachers over previous years.
Conservationists, botanists and others are concerned about the decline of ginseng populations, and poaching may eventually cause harvests to be restricted.
Ginseng root has been favored as a tonic with exports to East Asia for the past two-and-a-half centuries. In North Carolina, the plant primarily occurs in the mountains. The Forest Service continues to monitor the harvest in the national forests in North Carolina to ensure the future viability of the plant.
Removing any plant or its parts from national forest land without a permit or outside of the legal harvest season is considered theft. Every national forest plant is public property, which means plant thieves are robbing all citizens of a resource that is collectively owned. Penalties for plant poaching may include a fine up to $5,000 or six-month sentence in federal prison, or both.
"Unfortunately, not everyone respects the rules, and there are times when we need to take action. In recent years, the punishment for ginseng poaching has included up to 30 days in jail for a first-time, misdemeanor offense in some Western North Carolina cases," said Bail. "Poachers need to understand that the federal courts are taking plant theft, as well as wildlife poaching, very seriously and that the penalties for such acts may be harsh."
Visitors to the Nantahala and Pisgah National Forests must obtain a permit to collect ginseng during the designated harvest season, which runs Sept. 1 through 30. Ginseng permits cost $40 per wet pound. An individual may purchase up to three wet pounds annually although harvest is prohibited in Wilderness and Natural Areas.

We study the efficient allocation of a divisible asset when reallocation is costly. Two players initially divide an asset between them. At the time of this initial division the players' valuations for the asset are uncertain. After the uncertainty resolves, costly reallocation may take place. We first establish that the surplus associated with efficient reallocation monotonically increases or decreases in the concentration of the initial division for a wide range of cost specifications. We then characterize how the budget necessary to implement the efficient reallocation changes with the initial division. (JEL D11, D63, D81)

I am building a Ruby on Rails application that lets users deploy a server in the DO region of their choice.
I'd like to show the latency between the user's location and all the available DO regions so that the user can select the region with the fastest response time for them.
The latency can be easily calculated locally in development for each region with Net::Ping using the example code below:
 check =
 start_time =
 elapsed_time = ('%.6f' % ( - start_time))
However, in production, the originating IP is consistently the web host of my application, not the user's IP address.
How can I measure the response time between a website visitor and a DO region?
2 answers
Thanks for taking a look _USER_.
I was able to solve this problem by using JavaScript to ping a website hosted in each of DO's regions. I used the speed test websites originally designed to help DO customers measure the upload/download speed from each region.
For example, the code below will ping a website hosted in each DO region and then print the response time latency in the console.
var region_data = [
 {"name":"New York","host":""},
 {"name":"San Francisco","host":""},
for (var i = 0; i < region_data.length; i++) {
 var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest()
 var start_time =;'GET', region_data[i].host, false)
 xmlhttp.onload = function () {
 var elapsed_time = - start_time;
 console.log(region_data[i].name + ':'+ elapsed_time);
 // Send request
Hi there _USER_,
Usually you would be seeing the server IP address in case that you are using Nginx as a reverse proxy. To get the real IP address of the visitor you have to get the X-forwarded-for header value. That way you would get the actual IP rather than the server IP itself.
Hope that this helps!

Consider the Kovsh
These ornamental ladles are kovshi (singular: kovsh), a type of Russian drinking vessel in the shape of a duck. Traditionally, various vessels were intended for different beverages. Kovshi, which come in a range of sizes, were intended for drinking kvass or beer. They were also used for drinking mead, a honey based drink that varied in flavor from using different fruits and berries. Silver kovshi were used for white mead, while golden kovshi were used for red mead.
They were originally made of wood and some early kovshi were made of tightly woven cloth. In the 16th century, they began to be made in silver and increasingly assumed a ceremonial status. The kovshi in our collection are nineteenth and early twentieth century pieces of the Old Russian style, seen in the multicolored enameling inspired by sixteenth and seventeenth-century patterns. A yearning for a Russian art unmarred by Western influence contributed to what became the Russian Revival in the 1870s and 1880s. Interest in exploring early Russian artistic traditions provided craftsmen with a rich body of sources for creating beautiful, distinctly Russian works of art. Cloisonné enameling is but one example; another is trompe l'oeil, discussed in this blog post. While many such pieces were ornamental, a few could function as punch bowls or salts depending on their size.
These pieces illustrate how time and again the functional and artistic merits of the decorative arts can be appreciated both independently and harmoniously.

How to Capitalize the First Letter of a Word in Google Sheets
When working with text in Google Sheets there are a number of times where you may need to modify the data.
Google Sheets has a few text functions that are useful for doing different things.
For example, sometimes you may need to capitalize the first letter of words in your cells. Google Sheets has functions that will help you do this.
In this tutorial, I will show you 2 formulas that will help you capitalize the first letter of words in Google Sheets.
How to Capitalize the First Letter of Each Word in Google Sheets
If you have a string of text in a cell, and you want to capitalize the first letter of every word in that string, the PROPER function will help you do this.
The PROPER function will output your selected text with the first letter capitalized of every word in the cell.
The PROPER function only takes one argument, which is the text that you want to perform the function on.
Here is the syntax of this formula:
PROPER(text)
Here is how to use this function:
 1. Select the cell where you want the formula to output the data.
 2. Type the word "Proper" and press the Tab button on your keyboard
 3. Select the cell with the text that you want to change
 4. Type a closing parenthesis ")"
 5. Press Enter on your keyboard
Proper
This method is useful if you want to capitalize every single word in a cell, but if you only want the first letter of the first word capitalized, use the below method
How to Capitalize the First Letter of a String of Text
If you only want to capitalize the first letter of a cell, you have to combine a few different functions.
There is not a single function in Google Sheets that will do this, but if you combine a few formulas, you can get the job done.
These are the functions you will need to combine and what they do:
 - UPPER – Converts string to uppercase
 - LEFT – Substring from the beginning of a specific string
 - RIGHT Substring from the end of a specific string
 - LEN – Length of a string
You would need to combine these in one formula with this syntax if you were performing it on the first cell in your spreadsheet:
=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)1)
You can see in the example below that this will capitalize only the very first word in your string.
Capitalize
This formula works because you are taking the very first letter at the left of your string and uppercasing it (UPPER & LEFT), and then adding on all the letters from the right of the string, except for the first letter. (RIGHT & LEN -1).
This is a very clever way of accomplishing this job. There are certainly other ways to do this in Google Spreadsheets, but this is going to be the best method.
Closing Thoughts
With the 2 methods, we have shown above you should easily be able to capitalize the first letter in your cells.
If you are still confused about how to use these functions, make sure to watch the video at the top of the page!

Topic: Python, arduino and stepper motor won't work (Read 1 time) previous topic - next topic
I have a problem for driving a stepper motor out of python(blender). The stepper should make the same rotation as cube in Blender3D. I'm using Blender 2.63, Pyserial 2.6, Arduino Mega2560, a big easy driver and a 1A stepper motor with 200 steps.
Python code:
Code: [Select]
import bpy
import math
from math import degrees
import serial
ser = serial.Serial('COM5',115200,timeout=1)
def my_handler(scene):
 data = ''
 eulx = bpy.data.objects['Cube'].rotation_euler
 x = degrees(eulx.y)
 a = (x/360)*200
 data = bytes([int(a)])
Arduino code:
Code: [Select]
_TAG_
int motorSpeed = 115200;
int motorAccel = 8000;
int motorDirPin = 9;
int motorStepPin = 8;
AccelStepper stepper(1, motorStepPin, motorDirPin);
void setup(){
 pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
 digitalWrite(5, LOW);
 digitalWrite(6, LOW);
 digitalWrite(7, LOW);
int num;
void loop()
 if (stepper.distanceToGo() == 0)
 num = Serial.read();
When I try this, the shaft moves and immediately moves back to its origin position. When I replace the "num" in the arduino code for testing, everything works fine (the shaft moves half of a full rotation).
Has anybody an idea why this could happen?
Thank you very much!
What does the data you are writing out the serial port look like? Is it a byte or integer or string? Are you processing it correctly at the Arduino end? It sonds sort of like the motor is turning back to the ZERO position.
thank you for trying to help me. The output for the example above is:
Code: [Select]
>>>data = ''
>>>x = 180
>>>a = (x/360)*200
>>>data = bytes([int(a)])
So b'd' is the data sent. This works perfectly for my servos....
Any idea why it won't work on the steppers?
Thank you
Hello! could well turn the engine?
I want to move a stepper motor from Blender and not how.
Never call Serial.read() unless you have first checked that there is a character available using
Serial.available() > 0....
[ I won't respond to messages, use the forum please ]
I think that the problem has to do with datatypes. Let's look at the Python code:
Code: [Select]
x = 180
a = (x/360)*200
x is an integer with the value 180. In the next line you divide the integer 180 with the integer 360 which becomes the integer 0 as it's rounded down, multiplied with 200 is still 0.
Change the code to:
Code: [Select]
x = 180
a = (x/360.0)*200.0
and the computation will be a floating point computation. You could also make explicitly convert x to floating point like so:
Code: [Select]
x = 180
a = (float(x)/360)*200
and still get the expected result.

In Sublime Text 2, you get vertical guides where your indentation is, like this:
Sublime Text screenshot
but Vim doesn't:
vim screenshot
Is there a way to show lines like that in Vim?
By the way, my indentation is 2 spaces.
:set tabstop=2 softtabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 expandtab
6 Answers 6

Unified answer:
If you are using tabs
I'd try using listchars:
:set listchars=tab:\|\
:set list
note: there is a space after the last \ above.
This method is good because it uses Vim's built-in support for showing this kind of thing.
Example output:
| if (1) {
| | func();
| }
screenshot of text sample above
However, this doesn't work for leading spaces. As pointed out by @Josh Petrie, there is a patch to work for spaces, but then you'd have to recompile Vim, which is beyond the scope of this answer.
If you are using spaces, and don't mind using a plugin
Vaibhav Sagar points out the plugin indentLine performs this functionality.
Install in the normal way (see installing Plugins) and it seems to magically just work without further input. If you don't mind the ASCII bars, you don't need to do anything with your fonts. Example output of your example after setting your indentation settings and running :IndentLinesReset
45 ¦ var move = function(direction) {
46 ¦ ¦ if(!initialized) { initialize(); }
47
48 ¦ ¦ if(shiftBoard(direction)) {
49 ¦ ¦ ¦ setTimeout(addRandomPiece, 100);
50 ¦ ¦ }
51 ¦ };
screenshot of example with spaces
The plugin requires Vim 7.3 or later, and makes cleaver use of that version's Conceal feature. Instead of actually hiding text, it replaces text with bars in the view, but not the actual buffer. The result is you see the bars but they don't get saved into the file (since they are actually spaces)
Caveat
Both of these methods assume "properly" indented code. They don't place the indentation lines at the level of indent when a "block" is opened (which sublime appears to do) but instead places lines at regular intervals based on your indentation settings. Additionally, it only shows the bars on lines where there is actually space (which is why the line in the vim output under the first if has no bars, making a visual gap)

 Actually, I'm using spaces to indent instead of tabs. I've updated my question.

 Updated answer to include information from Vaibhav Sagar and Josh Petrie. I tried out the plugin Vaibhav mentioned and show the results in the edited answer. I think I'm going to start using this plugin myself. It's not fantastic, but in general seems to work pretty well.

Another option I use, which isn't exactly what you asked for, but accomplishes the same purpose of making it easier to see what is in the same column, is to set the following in your vimrc:
set cursorcolumn
set cursorline
cursorcolumn illustration
This has the trade off that you have to move your cursor to the column you want to see, but you get less visual clutter. Usually when I care about indentation levels, I'm keeping my place with the cursor anyway. My way also isn't as awkward-looking in languages like python without closing braces.

For the sake of completeness, there is also the Indent Guides plugin, which shows the indentation levels by alternating the colors of white spaces. It requires version 7.2 or later. Since it uses the tabstop and shiftwidth variables, it will probably work for your indentation settings right away.
Imgur
Once the plugin is installed, you can simply use:IndentGuidesEnable or :IndentGuidesDisable. If you are using terminal vim, note that, according to the manual,
At the moment Terminal Vim only has basic support. This means is that colors won't be automatically calculated based on your colorscheme. Instead, some preset colors are used depending on whether background is set to dark or light.
In order to change the colors of the guides for the screenshot, I used the following
let g:indent_guides_auto_colors=0
so the colors are not recalculated when buffers are swapped, and then set the colors using
hi IndentGuidesEven ctermbg=238
hi IndentGuidesOdd ctermbg=236
As with the other solutions presented, it only shows the indent guides on lines were there are spaces.

 add let g:indent_guides_enable_on_vim_startup=1 to my .vimrc to enable this on startup.

I've found the indentLine plugin to be the best for this. You do need a font with the appropriate symbols though, I find Consolas on Windows and Menlo on Mac OS X work well. As is pointed out in the unified answer above, it works by (ab)using vim's conceal feature to put vertical bars (from the font used) in the right place. I'm pretty happy with this solution but the disadvantage to it is that my vertical bars are part of the box-drawing glyphs and they are center-aligned instead of left-aligned like in other editors. I've gotten used to it but it can be fixed by manually patching your font or using a font like Fantasque Sans Mono (note how the screenshots in the linked github repo use indentLine).

 - Which glyph is the patched vertical line? Can you paste it here? Thanks.

The indentLine plugin tends to be fairly slow on non-small files, observable when clicking enter as it lags by a second or so.
I've found vim-indentguides to be a faster and visually similar plugin, that also visually distinguishes tab indents versus space indents.

Try the most recent updated of Goneovim, not the current release 0.4.6.
It's not pure vim but a neovim gui, and it does not gain much attention. The indent guides feature of goneovim is native, and works much better than vim/neovim plugins. enter image description here

Straw and silk ribbon
Given by N A Bicknell
Museum no. T.59-1936
The printed hat band on this child's straw hat depicts the aeroplane flown by French aviator Louis Bleriot (_PHONE_) on the first flight across the English channel, in July 1909. The flight is significant in aviation history because it was the first time a plane was flown across a large body of water.
The hat is of a popular shape for children in this period. The green petersham edging on the brim of the hat is also used at the centre of the crown. This green ribbon motif is decorated with large silk embroidery stitches, a style of embellishment which was frequently used in women's fashionable dress at the end of the first decade of the 20th century.


What is the Difference Between Activity Coefficient and Fugacity Coefficient
Activity coefficient and fugacity coefficient are useful terms in thermodynamics and physical chemistry, particularly in the context of solutions or mixtures. The difference between activity coefficient and fugacity coefficient lies in their respective applications within thermodynamics.
What is the difference between activity coefficient and fugacity coefficient? Activity coefficient, denoted by γ, is used in the context of solutions, especially non-ideal solutions, while fugacity coefficient, denoted by φ, is used in the context of gases, especially non-ideal gases.

Difference Between Activity Coefficient and Fugacity Coefficient - Comparison Summary
What is Activity Coefficient
Activity coefficient is a measure of the deviation of a solution's behavior from ideal behavior. In an ideal solution, the interactions between solvent and solute molecules are assumed to be equivalent to those between solvent-solvent and solute-solute molecules. However, in real solutions, especially when the solute concentration is high or when the solute molecules are significantly different in size or polarity from the solvent molecules, deviations from ideal behavior occur.
The activity coefficient (γ) is defined as the ratio of the actual concentration of a species to its concentration as predicted by an ideal solution. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
a = γc
Where:
 - a is the activity of the species,
 - c is its concentration,
 - γ is the activity coefficient.
Activity coefficient accounts for the non-ideality of a solution by adjusting the concentration term to reflect the true behavior of the solution. When
γ=1, the solution behaves ideally. However, when
γ≠1
the solution deviates from ideal behavior, and the activity coefficient becomes necessary to correct the concentration term.
Activity Coefficient
Activity coefficients are influenced by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent molecules. They are typically determined experimentally through measurements of colligative properties, such as osmotic pressure, vapor pressure, or freezing point depression.
What is Fugacity Coefficient
Fugacity coefficient is a crucial concept in thermodynamics and chemical engineering, particularly in the study of phase equilibria and the behavior of real gases and liquids. It is denoted by the symbol φ and is defined as the ratio of the fugacity of a component in a mixture to its partial pressure under the same conditions of temperature, pressure, and composition. The fugacity of a component is a measure of its tendency to escape or vaporize from a mixture, analogous to pressure for ideal gases.
In simpler terms, the fugacity coefficient accounts for deviations from ideal behavior in gases and liquids. For ideal gases, the fugacity coefficient is equal to 1, indicating that the gas behaves according to the ideal gas law. However, real gases and liquids often deviate from ideal behavior due to intermolecular interactions and non-ideal conditions.
The fugacity coefficient varies with changes in temperature, pressure, and composition of the mixture. It is often determined experimentally or calculated using thermodynamic models such as the Van der Waals equation of state or the Redlich-Kwong equation. These models incorporate correction factors to account for deviations from ideal behavior and provide more accurate predictions of phase equilibria.
Understanding fugacity coefficients is essential in various industrial processes, such as chemical reactions, separation processes, and gas purification. Engineers use fugacity coefficients to design and optimize processes, ensuring efficient operation and accurate prediction of equilibrium conditions. Additionally, fugacity coefficients play a crucial role in environmental studies, particularly in modeling gas-phase reactions and predicting pollutant behavior in the atmosphere.
Similarities Between Activity Coefficient and Fugacity Coefficient
 1. Both activity coefficient (γ) and fugacity coefficient (φ) are correction factors used to adjust for deviations from ideal behavior in solutions or mixtures.
 2. In both cases, these coefficients affect equilibrium calculations.
Difference Between Activity Coefficient and Fugacity Coefficient
Definition
 - Activity coefficient (γ) measures the non-ideality of a solution, specifically how the activity of a component differs from its concentration in an ideal solution. Fugacity coefficient (φ) quantifies the deviation from ideal gas behavior in gases, representing how the fugacity of a gas differs from its pressure in an ideal gas.
Measurement
 - Activity coefficient is often determined experimentally using methods like vapor pressure measurements, osmotic pressure measurements, or activity coefficients of a solute in different solvents. Meanwhile, fugacity coefficient can be calculated using equations of state, such as the van der Waals equation or the Redlich-Kwong equation, along with experimental data to correlate the behavior of real gases.
Deviation
 - Activity coefficient reflects the deviation of the solution's behavior from ideal behavior due to interactions between solute and solvent molecules, including effects like solute-solvent interactions and solvent-solvent interactions. However, fugacity coefficient accounts for deviations from ideal gas behavior caused by factors such as molecular volume, intermolecular forces, and compressibility of the gas molecules. It provides a measure of the non-ideality of gases under non-standard conditions.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while both activity coefficient and fugacity coefficient serve to correct for deviations from ideal behavior in solutions and gases respectively, they operate in distinct domains. Activity coefficient addresses non-ideality in solutions, reflecting interactions between solute and solvent molecules. Conversely, fugacity coefficient pertains to deviations from ideal gas behavior, considering factors like molecular volume and intermolecular forces. Both coefficients play pivotal roles in understanding and predicting thermodynamic properties, guiding industrial processes, and environmental studies.
FAQ: Activity Coefficient and Fugacity Coefficient
1. What is the coefficient of fugacity?
 - The coefficient of fugacity, often denoted by φ, represents the ratio of the fugacity of a substance to its pressure. It serves as a correction factor that accounts for deviations from ideal gas behavior.
2. What is the purpose of activity coefficient?
 - The activity coefficient is used to measure how much a solution's properties differ from those of an ideal solution with the same composition. It's a practical tool in thermodynamics for understanding how real-world solutions deviate from ideal behavior. By considering interactions between components, the activity coefficient helps predict properties like vapor pressure, osmotic pressure, and solubility more accurately.
3. What does the activity coefficient represent?
 - The activity coefficient in chemistry represents the ratio of the chemical activity of a substance to its molar concentration. It quantifies how the behavior of a substance in a solution differs from what would be expected based solely on its concentration.
4. What are the factors affecting fugacity?
 - Fugacity is influenced by factors such as pressure, temperature, volume, and composition. Equations like the van der Waals equation or the Redlich-Kwong equation help calculate the fugacity coefficient, which indicates how far from ideal gas behavior a substance behaves. Intermolecular forces and molecular size also impact fugacity.
5. What is meant by fugacity=1?
 - When the fugacity coefficient equals 1, it implies that the gas behaves ideally, meaning there are no significant interactions between its molecules. In other words, the gas follows ideal gas laws closely, with properties like pressure, volume, and temperature behaving as predicted by ideal gas behavior.

The Wage Gap between Francophones and Anglophones: A Canadian Perspective, 1970 to 2000
NBER Working Paper No. 14203
The wage differential between Francophone and Anglophone men from 1970 to 2000 fell by 25 percentage points within Quebec, but only by 10 points Canada-wide, largely because the wages of Quebec Anglophones fell by 15 points relative to other Canadian Anglophones. Accordingly, the Canadian measure of the Francophone wage gap better reflects the changing welfare of Francophones than the Quebec measure. Over half of the reduction in the Canadian Francophone wage gap is explained by rising Francophone education levels. In Quebec, the declining number and relative wages of Anglophone workers is best explained by a falling demand for English-speaking labour.

Admin Multi-Check is a security feature built into RealmsCore that helps protect your server.
Some commands, such as permissions and moderation commands, use Admin Multi-Check. This means that in addition to the normal permission node (such as realms.kick for the /kick command), they require:
- The realms.admin permission
- If permissions and multi-check are enabled, "admin: true" must be listed below the player's UUID in the playerperms.yml file.
For example, here is an example excerpt from a playerperms.yml file:
# Kyle_Necrowolf's permissions c7a0e7df-5141-4344-b119-9f1102e5178c: admin: true permissions: default: admin_utility cheat: admin_cheat
If the "admin: true" line (bolded above) is not found, the player will be denied access to the command.
Why use Admin Multi-Check
Because this feature is separate from permissions, your server stays protected even if your permissions system is compromised.
"Force op" hacks will fail the multi-check, because they only fool the permissions system. They can't modify the file, so they can't fool RealmsCore.
In most cases, the server owner is the only person with access to the server files. No one on the server can modify or bypass this system, therefore, the owner is always in control.
Disabling Admin Multi-Check
If Admin Multi-Check is disabled, only the realms.admin permission is required. The playerperms.yml file will not be checked.
The console, command blocks, and remote console (RCON) are not affected (see below).
Disabling permissions (in coreconfig.yml) will automatically disable Admin Multi-Check.
Beyond that, it is not recommended that you disable Admin Multi-Check manually. It is a non-intrusive security feature that can help protect your server. However, if you do not want to use it, you can disable it in coreconfig.yml.
How it works with Console, Command Blocks, and Remote Console (RCON)
Admin Multi-Check also applies to commands run from the console, command blocks, and remote console (RCON).
For all commands that use Admin-Multi-Check:
- By default, the console is allowed. Can be blocked in the config.
- By default, command blocks are blocked.
- Can be allowed in the config, but not recommended, as it allows commands to be run without restrictions, and any player on your server can maliciously activate command blocks.
- By default, the remote console (RCON) is blocked.
- Can be allowed in the config, but not recommended, as it can open your server up to remote attackers.
- All other command senders (entities, proxies) are blocked.
Note that this applies even if Admin Multi-Check is disabled. Disabling the feature will only disable it for players.

Yesterday the Missouri Senate voted to roll back Proposition B, the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act and, thus, said the heck with Missouri voters who approved the measure in November.
Lawmakers approved Senate Bill 113 sponsored and introduced by Senator Mike Parson who, ironically, titled the bill, the Canine Cruelty Prevention Act. Key points of the bill include:
- No limit on the number of breeding dogs.
- No requirement of ground level cages with access to the outdoors.
- No requirement that the dogs be sheltered from extreme weather and temperatures.
- No annual hands-on vet examinations will be required.
- Two visual inspections of dogs by veterinarians will be required.
- Depending on the number of dogs sold, breeders would pay fees ranging up to $2,500 instead of the current maximum of $500.
- Breeders would pay $25 per year to generate funds for additional state inspectors
- Breeders in violation would no longer be subject to prosecution for the misdemeanor crime of puppy mill cruelty. Instead, courts could assess civil fines or prosecutors could file misdemeanor charges of canine cruelty against repeat offenders.

DBSync's "Sage 100 & PocketAdvantag Bidirectional Integration" is easy to use solution template which integrates data both ways between the Sage 100 & PocketAdvantage app. The template is also useful in migrating historical Sage 100 data into PA and can also be used to do a periodic swipe of historical accounting data into PA. This template provides Bi-directional the flexibility for more complex and dynamic mapping capability.
One of the most important prerequisite prerequisites of Sage 100 and PocketAdvantage system is to setup set up the ODBC data source connection on the server where Sage 100 is hosted. The below steps explain how to setup set up the ODBC connection so that Sage 100 opens a connection to DBSync.
- Go to Control Panel -> Administrative services of the server on which the Sage 100 is hosted.
- Select the service ODBC data source 32-bit/64-bit based on server configuration. This will open a pop up as shown in the image below.
- Choose the Tab user DSN and click on the Add button. This will open a pop up with various drivers.
- Choose MySQLODBC5.3 unicode Unicode driver. This will pop open a window to enter connection properties.
- In the MySQL connection window, enter the following Parameters Data Source Name: dbsyncqueue, TCP/IP server: dbsync-queue.cvglyvvn64dx.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com, user:dbsync, Password:, DatabaseDatabase: Sage.
The steps below show how to import the job file script provided by DBSync - it is mandatory for the integration to work.
- Login to Sage 100 with valid credentials.
- On the left navigation, select a visual integrator. This will provide a list of options.
- Choose the "Job Import" option from the available values.
- Choose the file provided by DBSync. The file can be downloaded by clicking on the following link.
- From the file dialog box, choose the file. It will show the list of all the jobs that are required for DBSync to perform the integration.
- Select all. And then, click on the Accept button as shown in the following screen shotscreenshot.
- Login to Sage 100 with valid user credentials.
- Search for the Task Scheduler from the search. It will return the search results.
- Clicking on the search result name of Task Scheduler will open a popup - as shown in the image below.
- Key in the desired job name. Moving the cursor to next text box will auto-populate the company code, Sage 100 user logon login, and server user logon.
- The user will have to key in the Sage 100 Account Password and Server Password. Then, s/he will have to choose the type to "Visual Integrator ".
- Set the schedule job intervals by choosing the appropriate options.
- Choose the tab "Tasks".
- Select the V/I Job Type to to Export, in case of reading data from Sage 100. Or, choose Import in case of writing to Sage 100. Then, choose the V/I Job Name as appropriate.
- Click on Accept to save the job.
A question may arise - what happens to the Sage data after it being is read from the Sage 100 application? How does DBSync process the data and write to the PocketAdvantage? Below steps explain how Sage Data is being processed to the PocketAdvantage.
- The Scheduled jobs within the Sage 100 application, helps to read from Sage and processes to DBSync.
- The DBSync holds the Sage data in a queue - i.e. a buffer - before applying the required transformations and writing to the PocketAdvantage.
- The workflows - with the naming convention "Merge" within the DBSync - will help DBSync to sort any duplicate records that are processed into the DBSync's buffer.
- DBSync internally uses a chaining technique for the merging process. The technic enables DBSync to identify unique records and separate duplicate records from the unique ones.
- Then, another workflows workflow will process the data from DBSync buffer to PocketAdvantage.
DBSync Integration of Sage & PocketAdvantage can be triggered by:
- Clicking on the Run-now button from the process listing page of DBSync.
- Using DBSync Scheduler.
Clicking on Run-Now Buttons From DBSync platform
The user can login log in to DBSync with his/her valid credentials and click on the Run-now button from the process listing page or from the workflow listing page. The order of execution, of the process, must follow the following path:
- Scheduler available in DBSync Account can be used to schedule the integration. For further details on the scheduler, please click on the following link _URL_

useLogin
useLogin is a React hook that facilitates login to your headless WordPress site without having to leave your Faust app.
API
The useLogin exports, defined as a TypeScript type:
type UseLogin = {
 loading: boolean;
 login: (
 usernameEmail: string,
 password: string,
 redirectUrl?: string,
 ) => void;
 data:
 | {
 generateAuthorizationCode: {
 code?: string;
 error?: string;
 };
 }
 | undefined;
 error: ApolloError | undefined;
};Code language: JavaScript (javascript)
Loading: A boolean flag that indicates whether the request for login is still in flight.
Login: The login request callback. It's function that you need to call with the following parameters: usernameEmail is the user email. password is the user password and redirectUrl is the redirect path when the login request is successful.
Data: the login response data. It's an object with the following attributes: generateAuthorizationCode is an object that contains either the code or an error message of the login attempt. You need to check these fields to see if the login request was valid or not (see Usage example for more context).
Error: if the login request has failed, it will return an instance of ApolloError.
Usage
Below is a full example of login to your WordPress site without leaving your Faust app. Upon a successful login, you will be redirected to /dashboard:
import { useLogin } from '@faustwp/core';
import { useState } from 'react';
export default function Login() {
 const [usernameEmail, setUsernameEmail] = useState('');
 const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
 const { login, loading, data, error } = useLogin();
 return (
 <form
 onSubmit={(e) => {
 e.preventDefault();
 login(usernameEmail, password, '/dashboard');
 }}>
 <fieldset>
 Username or Email
 <input
 id="usernameEmail"
 type="text"
 disabled={loading === true}
 value={usernameEmail}
 onChange={(e) => setUsernameEmail(e.target.value)}
 />
 </fieldset>
 <fieldset>
 Password
 <input
 id="password"
 type="password"
 disabled={loading === true}
 value={password}
 onChange={(e) => setPassword(e.target.value)}
 />
 </fieldset>
 {data?.generateAuthorizationCode.error && (

 )}
 <fieldset>
 <button type="submit">Login</button>
 </fieldset>
 </form>
 );
}
Code language: JavaScript (javascript)
It create some state values to keep track of the user email and password fields. It then uses the useLogin hook and extracts the return values. Based on the return values, it will either disable some fields when loading=true or return an error message when data.generateAuthorizationCode.error is not empty.

Hierarchical refinement in isogeometric analysis for flexible multibody impact simulations
Detailed impact simulations in flexible multibody systems can be simulated based on reduced isogeometric analysis (IGA) models. However, a precise simulation of an impact requires a high element resolution in the contact area. Usually in IGA, global refinement methods are used, which are easy to implement. However, in the literature, also the use of hierarchical local refinement is proposed. The local refinement generates fewer countable degrees of freedom compared to an equivalent global refinement. Numerous application areas can be found in the literature, such as contact simulations, where the computational effort is reduced by local refinement. In this work, we introduce the inclusion of hierarchically refined IGA models within the floating frame of reference formulation. Thereby, the hierarchically refined IGA model is reduced and applied in impact simulations. In two application examples, we simulate the impact of twoand three-dimensional spheres and compare with an analytical solution. The focus here is on the comparison of calculation times and accuracy of globally and locally refined reference models. The third application example consists of two flexible double pendulums and is devoted to systems in which the bodies undergo both arbitrary rigid body motions and small elastic deformations.

Animal Transport
What is an Animal Transport?
Animal transport is the commercial transport of live animals using motor vehicles. This also applies to the movement of animals in Germany as defined by the German Animal Welfare Transport Ordinance. The animal transportation involves the movement of livestock.
The conditions under which the animals may be transported are legally regulated in the European Regulation on the Protection of Animals during Transport. This regulation has been in force for all member states since January 2007. In Germany, the European requirements are implemented by means of a national animal welfare transport ordinance.

Indian Spring Hotel/Museum
Open for tours on weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Indian Spring Hotel was built in 1823 as an Inn by Chief William McIntosh and his cousin, Joel Bailey, who also operated it. In 1825, a two-story addition was built. The addition included the Tavern known as the Treaty Room and a large ballroom above it.
The hotel is unique and extremely significant to the history of the State of Georgia. It is the only known ante-bellum mineral springs hotel in Georgia still standing. It's history yields much data on the culture, society, and architecture of Georgia throughout the 19th century. The Federal style architecture, hand-planed wide boards, wooden pegs, and handmade bricks clearly indicate an early 19th century construction date. The foundation was made of native stone. The alcove in the wall, where the treaty was signed remains intact.
Indians had been coming to the Spring for many decades prior to 1800. They believed in the medical qualities of the water. No permanent structures were built near the waters due to the fear that crying children and talking women would scare the "healing spirits" away from the waters. However, William McIntosh built a cabin here in 1800.

Women's and Gender Studies Clothesline Project
The Clothesline project is a participatory exhibit and a visual display that bears witness and attempts to break the silence surrounding violence against women and girls. The exhibit is comprised of t-shirts decorated to represent a particular woman's or girl's experience, by the survivor herself or by someone who cares about her, or cares about the issue. The shirts are hung on a clothesline for viewing. Participants walk through the rows of clothesline to bear witness to these tragedies. The project focuses on providing healing for survivors of violence, educating the public about violence, and preventing violence. The t-shirts on the clothesline were made by VSU students, faculty, staff and persons from the Valdosta community. The Clothesline is displayed each year in October, during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

We have constructed an achromatic half-wave plate (AHWP) suitable for the millimeter wavelength band. The AHWP was made from a stack of three sapphire a-cut birefringent plates with the optical axes of the middle plate rotated by 50.5 deg with respect to the aligned axes of the other plates. The measured modulation efficiency of the AHWP at 110 GHz was 96±1.5%. In contrast, the modulation efficiency of a single sapphire plate of the same thickness was 43±4%. Both results are in close agreement with theoretical predictions. The modulation efficiency of the AHWP was constant as a function of incidence angles between 0 and 15 deg. We discuss design parameters of an AHWP in the context of astrophysical broadband polarimetry at the millimeter wavelength band.

Sharjah Architecture Triennial will seek to overturn "orientalist cliches"
A new architecture triennial launching in the United Arab Emirates next year will challenge "pernicious" western views of Asian, African and Middle Eastern architecture, according to curator Adrian Lahoud.
The Sharjah Architecture Triennial, debuting in the Emirati city in November 2019, aims to tackle stereotypes about the region and its architecture.
"There's going to be an attempt to rethink architecture beyond a Western European framework," Lahoud told Dezeen.
"You get all these orientalist cliches and you find them in all kinds of various forms of knowledge production, and they're continually repeated within the media."

The first Sharjah Architecture Triennial will "look beyond a Western European framework" says curator Adrian Lahoud. Photo is by Rabee Younes
Lahoud, who is dean of the school of architecture at the Royal College of Art in London, revealed details of the triennial at a launch event at the Venice Architecture Biennale at the end of May.
In an exclusive interview with Dezeen ahead of the launch, he criticised the western tendency to highlight vernacular design, traditional materials and even tribal dress from non-western cultures.
"Those kinds of cliches are pernicious, virulent, and objectionable tropes, that really no major international exhibition of architecture that I've seen in decades has been exempt from," he said. "There's a lack of indigenous modernities or futures in those accounts."
Triennial will "look beyond the object"
Instead, the three-month-long triennial in port city Sharjah, which neighbours Dubai, will look "beyond a focus on the object, the focus on the form of the object, or thinking about the building envelope as where architecture ends," said Lahoud.
"It's important because our perspective of architecture is so dominated by the legacy of Western European forms of thinking," he said. "This is a part of the world that is still involved in various different struggles against colonialism."

Taking place in port city Sharjah, which neighbours Dubai, the triennial will focus on architecture in North and East Africa, the Middle East and South Asia
Looking at architecture in North and East Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, the inaugural event is titled Rights of Future Generations.
It will examine how the recent focus on individual rights to things such as health, education and housing have diminished concern about collective entitlements such as rights to natural resources and a benign environment.
Looking at architecture from the perspective of future generations
Lahoud hopes the triennial will help move the discussion ''beyond questions of individual rights to think about collective rights, from the perspective of a future generation".
"But it's challenging, as future generations don't exist, so who speaks on behalf of them?" he said, stressing that this is the key question that architecture should be addressing.
"The reason it's becoming such a fundamental question and why it's so important to use as a kind of lens to think about architecture and think about cities is because there's no doubt in anyone's minds that we are making massive transformations to the planet at the moment," he said. "These are transformations that will have really fundamental long-term consequences on quality of life."
This involves overturning western views on architecture and urbanism, Lahoud believes.
"Shelter, for example, assumes that there is a distinction between ourselves and the environment; that the environment is a threat and we have to be protected from it," he said. "That's a core concept within architecture, but not all societies see their relationship to the environment in the same way."
Western architecture is "condescending"
Lahoud attacked the way other international architecture exhibitions presented architecture from Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
"For example, this obsession with tradition in the vernacular," he said. "This condescending appreciation of creativity under conditions of adversity. Or even the semiotics of architectural materials, bamboo and mud bricks, and so-called other traditional materials. There's always a complete absence of technological sophistication or technological experimentation."
He added: "Architects from that part of the world get admitted to international exhibitions if they're in traditional dress, and of course that standard never applies to architects from a North American or Western European context."
"The question we should be asking is why does the Western curatorial gaze, whenever it looks out to those parts of the world, basically seek works that only confirms preconceptions of what architecture from that part of the world should look like."

The aim of the event is to overturn western views on architecture and urbanism, according to Lahoud
Lahoud, an architect, researcher and educator, was appointed dean of the RCA's school of architecture in 2015 when his predecessor Alex de Rijike resigned to focus on his architecture practice dRMM.
Specialising in post-colonial nation-building projects and climate research in the context of the global south, Lahoud's recent projects include an installation called Climate Crimes, which is currently on show at the V&A as part of the exhibition The Future Starts Here.
He promised to put voices of young people in the regions covered by the triennial at the centre of the show, although he conceded that three months would not be time enough to address the scale of issues they face.
"The thing that excites me the most is the opportunity to make a space for dialogue, to create a platform for an emerging generation of architects, of scholars, of artists, planners, urban designers, who are working in parts of the world that sometimes don't have access to really basic things like national archives, to a documentation of their own histories because of colonialism, because archives were taken back to Europe or destroyed."

A common task when programming with GTViewer or GTVx is to get the Linkage off of an element (for more info on linkages, look here). For example, if an event were fired indicating that an element had been selected, you get the Category Id and the Element Offset of the selected element as parameters in the event. So, how do you get the Linkage stored on the element so that you can lookup database information? It turns out that there are several ways to do this, but I am going to provide a generic approach that should work for most cases.
It turns out that there is a method provided by both GTViewer and GTVx to retrieve the linkage from an element. It is aptly named GetElementLinkage; however, it returns an array of linkage values (since GTViewer data can have 1 to 7 linkage values per element). Most datasets use a 1 or 2 key linkage system and it sometimes, so it sometimes seems cumbersome to deal with an array when you know you will always be getting one or two linkage values. It is pretty easy to write a function in VB to just return you the one key or two keys without having to deal with the array. The example below is for 2 keys, but it should be obvious how to downgrade this code to a 1 key version.
Function GetElementLinkage(ByVal categoryId As Long, _
ByVal offset As Long, _
dataId As Long, _
key1 As Long, key2 As Long) As Boolean
' This function will get the linkage off of the element specified by its
' categoryId and offset. The dataId, key1, and key2 values will be populated.
' If the element contains only a 1 key linkage, key2 will be 0.
' The function returns True if a linkage was found and False otherwise.
GetElementLinkage = False
Dim linkageList As Variant
Dim linkCount As Long
key1 = 0
key2 = 0
If docObj.GetElementLinkage(categoryId, offset, linkageList, linkCount) Then
dataId = docObj.GetDataId(categoryId)
If linkCount > 0 Then
key1 = linkageList(0)
If linkCount > 1 Then
key2 = linkageList(1)
GetElementLinkage = True
The function above is for GTViewer, but it is very easy to use it with GTVx as well. You can either change the docObj reference to a GTVx1 (or whatever variable name you assigned to the control) or you can add something like the following to your code and use the same code for both GTViewer and GTVX. Write your code for GTViewer making sure to use the correct object when calling the methods (appObj, docObj, or viewObj). For GTVx, just define variables like the ones below in your general section:
Dim appObj As GTVx
Dim docObj As GTVx
Dim viewObj As GTVx
And somewhere in your code, assign the object variables to the GTVx control (Form_Load is a good place to do this):
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set appObj = GTVX1
Set docObj = GTVX1
Set viewObj = GTVX1
That is all you have to do. The function is provided in an appendix to the GTVx.doc file. There are other useful code snippets in this document as well.

Offsite Detection
When measuring the power usage of laptops we need to consider the question of where the laptop is located at any point in time and hence who's power is being used to power the device. The offsite detection feature allows you to configure the eiPower agent to determine when a laptop is On-site (that is, operating within your organisation's buildings) or Off-site (such as when someone takes their computer home to do some work)
When the Off-site detection feature is enabled and configured the eiPower agent includes an On/Off site status on each power event sent to the server. Each of the eiPower saver reports contain a parameter that allows you to specify whether you want the report to include or exclude Off-site power events.
Offsite detection is configured by specifying one or more IP address ranges that contain all the IP addresses used in your organisation. For example, if your organisation uses the following subnets :
Then you would specify the following address ranges as your On-site address ranges: – –
Whenever a computer's IP address lies within one of these ranges then the computer is considered On-site, otherwise it is Off-site.
Notice that it is not necessary to specify an IP address range for each subnet in your organisation, it is only necessary to specify ranges that cover all the IP addresses. Additionally it does not matter if you specify IP ranges that cover a few IP addresses not used by your organisation – these will have no affect on the Offsite detection.
The eiPower agent only checks the IP address of the computer's ethernet and wireless network adaptors – all virtual adaptors are ignored. This ensures that a laptop that is connected via VPN to an organisation's network is not considered On-site.
The use of IP Address ranges to determine On/Off site status is a simple and effective mechanism for performing Offsite detection that does not introduce any addition network traffic.
Issue with use of Private IP Ranges
An issue can arise when an organisation uses the same IP address ranges that are typically used by home networks. In these situations, care must be taken when configuring Offsite detection to ensure that the eiPower agent does not incorrectly report devices as being On-Site when they are being used from someone's home or a public internet location.
The default configuration for your typical home modem/wireless device issues IP Addresses starting from either or Hence when a user is using their laptop at home they will generally have an IP address in the following ranges : -> ->
When the eiPower Offsite detection is configured is it important not to specify an IP Address range that includes the above IP address as doing so will cause the eiPower agent to report a computer as being On-site when it is actually being used from a user's home. Although there may be a few On-site computers that have an address in the above ranges which will get incorrectly reported as Offsite, these will be very small in number and will have a minimal affect on the report results.
Offsite Detection Changes in Adelaide Update 2
One of the major features in the Adelaide Update 2 release is an extension to the Offsite detection feature so that the eiPower agent is able to use the computer's DNS server as well as its IP address when determining if a computer is On/Off site.
The Offsite Detection Policy page has been updated to allow you to specify a list of DNS server addresses as well as the list of IP address ranges.
The agent have been updated to use the follow algorithm to determine if a computer is On/Offsite :
If the computer has no active ethernet or wireless adaptors then the computer is ON-SITE
Otherwise if one or more DNS addresses have been specified and the DNS address of the computer's ethernet or wireless adaptors is NOT in the list of DNS addresses then the computer is OFF-SITE
Otherwise if one or more IP address ranges have been specified and the IP address of the computer's ethernet or wireless adaptors is NOT within one of the IP address ranges then the computer is OFF-SITE.
Otherwise the computer is ON-SITE
